The Idaho Department of Environmental Quality has issued a yellow air quality alert.
This forecast may be revised this afternoon should smoke impacts worsen in the Treasure Valley.

All open outdoor burning is prohibited in Ada and Canyon County by municipal and county ordinance.

Hot temperatures, wildfire smoke, and vehicle emissions are creating high levels of PM 2.5. and ozone.

Sensitive individuals may want to consider postponing strenuous activities until air quality improves.

People are asked to consider taking some of the following actions to reduce air pollution during this period:

• Limit driving.

• Combine trips & errands.

• Don't burn outdoors.

• Fill your tank and mow your yard in the evening after temperatures cool down
